How To Save Money On Your Mt Baldy Renovation

By now, you’re probably wondering how you’re going to afford such an expensive home remodel. Luckily, just like most remodeling projects, there are ways to shed some costs and lower that final Mt Baldy home renovation bill.

Keep Load-Bearing Walls: These walls carry a lot of weight and as such, are very expensive to remove. Try to design around the wall.

Do Not Change Kitchen or Bathroom Layout: Many assume it’s cheap to move a refrigerator from one side of the room to the other. However, if there’s no outlet near your desired location, how will it cool? If you’re changing your kitchen or bathroom layout, make sure the necessary electrical and plumbing are already set up. If you have to move either, your home remodeling budget will go up.

Buy Materials Yourself: Certain contractors can get bulk discounts on some materials, but many materials are available at your local hardware store. Save your contractor a trip, and yourself cash, by buying your own materials.

Choose Local Materials: Certain materials, such as Maple and Cypress wood, are sourced from the East Coast. Since they have to travel farther, your custom floors may cost more. As such, choose materials that are sourced in California or along the West Coast.

Interview Multiple Contractors: Remodeling companies were not created equal. One pro who has been in the business for one year may charge less than a 20-year veteran. Others may charge more because they know their quality is superior. No matter the case, it pays to interview at least three pros to ensure you find the right home remodel contractor for your project.

How To Find The Right Mt Baldy Contractor

Speaking of interviews, there are certain questions you need answers to before signing on that dotted line. Below are a few common questions homeowners in Mt Baldy ask before hiring any major renovation contractor:

Are you licensed and do you have Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation? If so, may I have a copy?

When are payments due?

Will I need to move out?

Do you give written warranties?

Can I see your recent reviews?

Have you done similar projects and can I see the results?

Once the project begins, what will I need to do?

Mt Baldy Home Renovation Financing

Refinance Mortgage: Essentially, raising your mortgage the amount you owe for the major home remodel.

FHA 203(K) Mortgage: Refinance and create a new loan at the same time. Loan is based on estimated value after the remodel.

Energy-Efficient Mortgages (EEMs): Credits a home's energy efficiency in the mortgage itself. A home energy rater conducts a home energy rating before financing is approved. This rating verifies that your home is energy efficient.

Personal Loan or Line of Credit: Good for smaller projects, but these loans carry high interest rates.
